On October 5, 2025 marked an exceptional stage for the Evangelical Protestants of France: the National Council of Evangelicals of France (CNEF) orchestra for the first time more than 80 simultaneous celebrations on the territory, bringing together thousands of believers around a common vision. Thanks to the commitment of departmental and local sections, this initiative has materialized in cities such as Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Strasbourg, Bordeaux or smaller municipalities, each welcoming place, loyal and sometimes institutional or local representatives.
The central objective: to celebrate Jesus Christ together to publicly affirm the identity of evangelical Protestants, to testify to the good news and to promote unity and inter-community collaboration. This event follows a mobilization orchestrated in late 2024, with the dissemination of calls by the CNEF, the publication of official information on www.celebrations2025.fr and a digital campaign supported on social networks.
Through a meticulous organization, each celebration offered moments of praise, communion and prayers, illustrating the vitality of the evangelical movement in France. Official data reports on an estimated participation of more than 60,000 people, with significant media coverage in the evangelical media and certain national newspapers. The event also benefits from specific overseas support in order to integrate all communities into national dynamics.
The approach aims to perpetuate dialogue, strengthen the links between churches and inspire common projects beyond this symbolic date. Thanks to an interactive map detailing addresses and organizers, transparency and rigor are ensured throughout the process. In the short term, “celebrations 2025” creates increased visibility and makes you want to cooperate on the territory; In the long term, it consolidates the influence of evangelical Protestantism, its influence and its ability to federate around shared values.
